WOW, I'm going to have to start calling you Tech Support Wendy. That cured the problem and also gave me some more options to explore while there as well. Thanks Wendy!

Hi Lintini - no I don't have any games lol I'm not a gamer, although I used to play Second Life, which explains my other computer which really was over the top, and cost me over $3,000!!! This new computer by comparison is only 1/3rd that but both of them are core i7. I just like technology and this year tech stuff is a bit cheaper and making maxing out my stuff that much easier. I have 3 PCs and I am maxing out 2 of them in memory (my new one gets 32gb and my 3 year old AMD system gets 16gb). My best friend got a new laptop so I bumped his up to 8gb.

Aha, very few people like it...I installed W7 on my sister's computer because she didn't like W8 and I don't like it myself.

Oh yeah I love Windows 7 professional - it really is a terrific system, and plus since I had forked out the extra cash for the professional version I wasn't too thrilled that they moved to windows 8 so quickly.

Oh boy I have today replaced the 8gb of ram this computer had and replaced it with 16gb of ram and it is just SPEEDY!!! If any of you are having trouble with your computers being slow, the single best thing, and easiest upgrade you can make to your computer is to add memory, there are online tests that can scan your computer to let you know what you have in there now, how many slots, and how much your system will support and how much you can add. Here is a link to a site that will scan your system for you if you are interested. This is rather a good time to buy memory as a lot of places have it on sale now:


Use the Crucial System Scanner software to find out what type of memory is in your computer
